Gun and gear reviews Tm22 left side extractor

I bought a tm22 currently cleaning the factory lube out and I’m thinking if I should remove the left side extractor cause I heard it increases reliability but some tm22 a run perfectly fine if u just leave it in.

Shoot it first. If you have problems, then consider removing it. Mine had problems and removing the left extractor fixed them, but I'd definitely shoot it first to see.

I had similar issues, it would hold onto the casing too tightly on the left extractor and then jam it into the chamber face and jam the gun. 

I ended up leaving the extractor on but polishing it really well and that worked too. Runs super reliable now.
